You may try to hide it with a bench, but that cabling is a disgrace.

2018 were wet. REALLY wet. There was no way you were getting round that one with any part of your clothing not being soaked. Surprisingly about 12hrs in, the weather cleared out. Of course by then it was dark so you needed to keep moving just to stay warm. That was the year of Mr Barter nearly depa...

I lost my MU earlier in the year so hunted high all low but couldn't find a direct replacement, found something similar, slightly bigger but charges quicker. Whilst waiting for it to arrive i found my MU. WIN WIN. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314809321670?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-235...

PM/email me your address and I'll send it down.

One of my best bits of kit was a Mu travel adaptor which had 2 usb ports and Euro/Usa clip on adaptors. It folded flat and was so easy to pack. I seem to have mislaid mine and the company has gone bust. Any suggestions on an alternative?? Did you sort this Dave? Just found mine and you're welcome t...

Crikey. A sobering read James, almost literally So many things about getting old petrify me.

Glad you're OK.

CyB just isn't quite good enough to justify the drive for people coming from England imo, esecially when you consider everything else that you'd drive past on the way. Feels like a "do it once and done" type of trip. The visitor centre always seemed too big, and hence more expensive than i...

Just been doing a bit of factfinding for this and was hoping there'd be a thread on here. Great write-up and pics Jimmy :-bd This might be controversial but if I rode it again I'd go south to north again. There were lots of times after a great descent Mike and myself both said that would be wasted a...

Well done lad. Get your feet up.

Chucking cyclists into ditches? There are plenty of people on here who consider a ditch to be premium-level accomodation.

Did anyone here do it? I saw a BB jersey on the event Facebook page. Great write up :-bd The BB jersey was me. I was a late starter - rocked up just as everyone was setting off, stayed for a coffee with Stu then got going about 50min late. That 50 mins, plus the 20 minutes or so I spent having a re...

What are you planning Andy?

And how was the States?

And when are we going riding?

Andy xx

I'm in, barring disaster.

Hey Josh. The phrase "don't mind some elevation" is a tough one to judge :grin: but if you fancy heading east into the West Pennines there's loads of off road bridleways across big open moors. It'll be less than an hour's drive to Waterfoot and that would drop you in a decent starting plac...

I disagree with this.

It's a really stupid place to camp tbf, and also stupid to still be there (what looks like) early morning when he should have been up and away. Not really much sympathy for the camper.

Farmer was OTT obviously but I always expect every farmer to behave like that having grown up around a few.

I've been completely unable to transition back to buttons from touchscreen after not far off ten years of 810 and 830. It absolutely does my nut in using my 530 now

Be careful what you wish for Bill...

Setting off to do this tomorrow with Pete of this parish. Starting from Edgworth and riding over to Watergrove to start it proper. @ton, you made a generous offer, oooo, about a year ago, thanks. But we have decided to be car free. No idea where we will camp. I'm hoping to be somewhere above Holme....

My 830 is now permanently bricked after a thorough moistening so this ⬆ is good advice William.

The screen protetctors on my 830 & Oregon 600/700 are looking a bit tired, & instead of replacing them i was wondering if i should even bother. I know the older Garmins needed doing in order to prevent scratches over time causing the screen to look, 'cloudy'. But does anyone know if the scr...

In.

First event of the year booked. Better start actually riding a bike again...

An extra 3 hours drive if I want to do some rallying now.

How do you activate the "Greggs" layer Dave?

I've got the Sea to Summit thermal liner and it's done the job for me. I can use it with my summer bag and base layer/long johns and be warm enough in winter. Half price at the minute if you buy direct https://seatosummit.co.uk/products/thermolite-reactor-liner They do 2 warmer versions than that if...
